  ! 21:12 drained.  Sleepy.  Mostly out of cope.
  * reset alarm for 6am for Emmy's SAT
  * 10ish get to bed very early.  Colleen walked to the bedroom

I spent the entire day being rather very stressed, despite picking up Colleen at White Blossom and taking her to Cosentino's, then home. I told several people that it wouldn't seem real until the next morning, which indeed proved to be true (more on that downstream).

There were a few glitches, but no disasters.

By a little after 9pm I was feeling completely drained and mostly out of cope; Colleen walked to the bedroom, and we both went happily splat in our new (rented) super-adjustable king-sized bed. I finally relaxed in her arms, for the first time in over two months.
